Event: ASC Galaxy & Canberra Cup
 

Sprint race at University of Canberra following elites Galaxy Sprint. Started OK but was a little confused at 6 until I realised it was a double control with 17. Small error on 12 led to a bigger mistake on 13 - just didn't see the passageway so lost at least 45 secs here. Rest were fine. Ended up a few minutes off the pace in 6th.

I found the map a little confusing, mistaking an overhead walkway for an impassable wall (thick black lines) and also found some of the passageways hard to pick up - maybe I just need to get stronger glasses!

A cool afternoon, so decided to tackle a few hills (as if I didn't have enough at Easter!). Probably good training for Sparrow Hill on Sunday.

Over Red Hill and up Bourke St on a new bike path (Council doing something right for a change) up to Hilltop, then east and climbed up further onto the Tatton ridge, south through the tree plantation on the ridge up to the top of Springdale, then cut back to the east and and north back home via the fire trails above Tatton. Really enjoyable run so will add to the list.

Felt really good the whole way, the cooler weather make a huge difference to me.

More control collection from yesterday's event. Also had to collect with what seems like dozens of water containers and thousands of cups! Really humid this morning after the rain yesterday.

Looking forward to the events in Canberra next weekend: will be able to turn up, run and leave: no 10 hours days in the forest like this Easter weekend!

Checking/turning on SI units for today's event. Cold, wet and quite dark in the forest at 7:30am!

Collecting controls after a successful Easter Day 2. Most comments regarding courses were complimentary which is satisfying.
